From this description, I doubt it:
wCategory
Specifies the event category. This is source-specific information;
the category can have any value.
EventCategory
Specifies a subcategory for this event. This subcategory is source
specific.
I would just display the number in ASCII or hex ASCII (you may need to
convert from binary).
If it's the error type, you could make a hash with these defines
and do a lookup to convert the type:
#define EVENTLOG_ERROR_TYPE 0x0001
#define EVENTLOG_WARNING_TYPE 0x0002
#define EVENTLOG_INFORMATION_TYPE 0x0004
#define EVENTLOG_AUDIT_SUCCESS 0x0008
#define EVENTLOG_AUDIT_FAILURE 0x0010
